2D Animation Projects on Freelance Platforms

About the Studio:
We are a high-end sequential art and comic book production studio specializing in end-to-end visual production. We work strictly B2B with international publishers, magazines, and executive editors, delivering premium graphic novels and comic series. We do not compromise on quality.
The Role:
We are looking for a professionally trained Motion Designer/Animator who has masterfully integrated AI video tools into their professional workflow. We do NOT want someone who merely generates random AI clips. We need a creative professional who understands animation principles, pacing, and storytelling, and uses AI (alongside After Effects/Nuke/etc.) to elevate 2D flat comic panels into breathtaking, cinematic scenes.
The Goal:
This is not a simple slideshow or a basic pan-and-zoom video. The final output must have a massive "Wow" factor. It needs to feel like a premium, dramatic, and immersive animated teaser. You must be able to take a single, flat illustrated page and breathe life into it using:
Meticulous manual layer separation for deep, immersive parallax effects.
Cinematic and dramatic camera movements.
Advanced AI integration for fluid transitions, ambient animation (smoke, weather, lighting), and dynamic depth.
Professional sound design and pacing.
Requirements:
Strong Animation Foundation: You must have a background in motion graphics, 2D animation, or VFX—not just prompt engineering.
Advanced AI Toolkit: Proven experience using professional AI tools (e.g., Runway Gen-3, Kling, Topaz, etc.) in combination with traditional compositing software to maintain strict control over the final image without losing the original art style.
Problem Solver: Ability to manually separate flat artwork into layers when layered PSDs are unavailable.
B2B Standard: Ability to take direct art direction, meet strict deadlines, and deliver flawless, broadcast-ready exports.
To Apply, You MUST Include:
A link to your portfolio specifically showing Cinematic Motion Comics or 2.5D Parallax Animation.
A brief explanation of your workflow: How do you combine traditional compositing with AI tools to maintain control over the artwork.

I’m kicking off a children’s animation series and need a vibrant, adventurous 2D opening sequence that instantly pulls young viewers into the story world. You’ll receive the theme song (final mix) and full character profiles—including colour palettes, turnaround sheets, and key personality notes.

Your task is to storyboard, design, and animate a complete opener that syncs perfectly with the track, showcases the main cast in action, and sets an exciting tone for everything that follows. Think fast-moving camera pans, playful poses, and a clear sense of adventure from the very first frame—while staying age-appropriate and easy to follow.

Deliverables
• Storyboard and rough animatic for approval
• Final 2D animation (HD 1080p, 24 fps) with music synced and titles keyed in
• Master file plus clean version without text for future localisation

Once the opener feels right, we’ll roll straight into Episode 1 using the same assets and style, so this project could grow into a longer collaboration. If you have a portfolio that shows dynamic, kid-friendly 2D work with strong timing to music, I’d love to see it.

Skills: Video Services, Animation, After Effects, 3D Animation, Storyboard, 2D Animation, 2D Game Art, 2D Animation Explainer Video

We are looking for an experienced video creator to produce a professional 60-second SaaS explainer video for OnCallGrid, an industrial maintenance intelligence platform.

OnCallGrid helps maintenance teams preserve repair knowledge, reduce repeated equipment failures, and provide technicians with the context they need before troubleshooting equipment.

We already have:
• A draft script
• Company logo
• Website and dashboard screenshots
• Brand colors
• Product messaging

Deliverables:
• One 60-second explainer video
• Professional voice-over (American English)
• Motion graphics and transitions
• Background music
• Incorporation of our existing screenshots and branding
• Final delivery in MP4 format suitable for LinkedIn, website, and presentations

Target audience:
• Maintenance Managers
• Plant Managers
• Operations Directors

Our goal is to create a polished, professional video that clearly communicates the operational challenges OnCallGrid solves and positions us for pilot customer conversations.

I’m building a series of short moral stories and need each one brought to life with smooth, traditional 2D cartoon animation. The tone is gentle and engaging—think classic village-style tales that leave the viewer with a clear life lesson.

Here’s what I’m after:
• Story runtime: 3–5 minutes each (I’ll supply scripts or outlines).
• Visuals: hand-drawn feel, fluid movements, bright but balanced palettes; no cut-out or vector shortcuts.
• Audio: complete voice-over track that matches the characters’ emotions and timing, mixed with light ambience and effects so every scene feels polished.
• Final output: 1080p MP4 plus source files (layers intact) so I can re-edit if needed.

I’m comfortable if you animate in Toon Boom, TVPaint, or a similar traditional 2D tool—just keep the line work crisp and the transitions seamless. If you already use an “Autodraft” pipeline to speed clean-ups or in-betweening, great; the finished product must still look hand-crafted.

When you respond, show me:
1. A link to at least one moral-themed cartoon you’ve fully animated in traditional 2D.
2. A quick note on how you handle voice-over casting, recording, and syncing.
3. Your estimated turnaround time for a single 4-minute episode.

I’ll review portfolios and pick the animator whose style and storytelling instincts feel the most authentic. Let’s teach some timeless lessons together—beautifully animated from first frame to final mix.

Skills: Animation, Illustration, After Effects, 3D Animation, 2D Animation, 2D Animation Explainer Video, Voice Over, Toon Boom

The script will be provided.

Please include:

Examples of similar animation/documentary work.
Your estimated price for a 10–15 minute video.
The software you use (After Effects, Illustrator, etc.).

To make sure you’ve read everything, start your proposal with the word “Football”.

Looking forward to seeing your work.

We would like to see your portfolio

We are looking for a style and pacing similar to viral TTRPG/D&D animated clips: expressive characters, strong comedic timing, limited but polished animation, exaggerated reactions, clean lip-sync or mouth-shape timing, quick cuts, simple backgrounds, captions, and meme-friendly moments.

Important: we are not looking to copy another creator’s characters, artwork, or exact designs. We want original character designs and animation for our group, with the reference used only for pacing, energy, humor, and short-form storytelling.

This will begin as a paid test project, with the goal of finding a long-term animation partner for recurring clips.

Initial Paid Pilot

Total runtime: approximately 6 minutes 34 seconds
Priority pilot clips: Mackie Outro, Wake Up, Umbrella Quest — approximately 1 minute 33 seconds total

Style / Creative Direction

We are looking for:

* Expressive 2D character animation

* Limited animation that still feels lively and intentional
* Character-focused staging rather than complex backgrounds
* Fast social-media pacing
* Captions/subtitles that support the humor
* Occasional simple effects, props, or background gags
* A format suitable for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, and X/Twitter

We are open to different production methods, including:

* After Effects, Toon Boom, Clip Studio, Adobe Animate, Blender Grease Pencil, or similar workflows

Assets We Can Provide

We can provide:

* Source video/audio with timestamps
* Character descriptions
* Character reference images, if available
* Notes on each character’s personality
* Context for the joke or scene
* Any recurring logos, fonts, or campaign branding
* Review notes during storyboard/animatic stage

Preferred Workflow

Please describe your workflow, but we expect something like:

2. Rough visual concept / character approach
3. Storyboard or animatic
4. Rough animation pass
5. Review round
6. Final animation, captions, and export

Please include how many revision rounds are included in your quote. Upwork recommends defining deliverables, visual style, milestones, revision rounds, and storyboard/animatic approval points clearly in animation jobs, so we want to keep this organized from the beginning.

We are also requesting quotes for the full 8-clip batch. Please include a per-clip quote and a full-batch quote.

We understand cost will vary depending on whether you recommend a simple animated animatic, limited 2D animation, or more polished custom character animation.

Ideal Candidate

You are a good fit if you:

* Have experience with 2D animation, animated shorts, comedy clips, or YouTube/TikTok/Reels content
* Understand tabletop RPG humor, improv, or character-driven comedy
* Can make dialogue-heavy scenes visually interesting
* Are comfortable animating recurring characters over time
* Can help us develop a repeatable visual style for future clips
* Communicate clearly and can price work by clip or by finished minute

Long-Term Potential

If the pilot goes well, we are looking for an ongoing animation partner for recurring clips from our D&D episodes. We would like to build a consistent short-form animation style and potentially release these on a regular schedule.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

I am looking for a talented motion graphics animator to help elevate the production value of my educational YouTube channel, Math in Motion.

The channel demonstrates how mathematical concepts apply to real-world situations and everyday experiences. Currently, I produce videos by filming on location at various stores and businesses. I am now transitioning to a studio-style format that combines green screen footage with engaging animated backgrounds and motion graphics.

- Create smooth transitions and visual elements that enhance viewer engagement.
- Help develop a consistent visual style and branding for the channel.
- Deliver high-quality final assets and/or reusable animation templates in 1080p or 4K.

REQUIRED SKILLS

- Motion Graphics Animation
- 2D Animation
- Green Screen Compositing (Chroma Key)
- Adobe After Effects
- Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or similar professional editing software
- Strong understanding of timing, pacing, and visual storytelling

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR

The ideal candidate has a portfolio that demonstrates:

- Clean and professional motion graphics
- Bright, engaging educational visuals

- Seamless integration of animated and live-action elements
- A friendly and approachable visual style

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

- Experience creating educational, explainer, or STEM-related content
- Familiarity with YouTube content production and audience engagement
- Experience building reusable animation systems and templates
- Understanding of how motion graphics can support learning and retention

PROJECT TYPE

Ongoing / Part-Time
This project has the potential to become a long-term partnership as new videos are produced on a regular basis.

HOW TO APPLY

Please include the following in your proposal:

1. A link to your portfolio, highlighting motion graphics, educational content, or green screen compositing work.
2. Whether you are interested in the Intro, Outro, or both.
3. A brief explanation of an educational animation project you are most proud of and why it was successful.

Animación de 3 slides de muestra para validar estilo visual y animación de slides para video vsl

Skills: Graphic Design, Video Services, Powerpoint, Animation, After Effects, Video Production, Video Editing, 2D Animation, Video Post-editing, Adobe Animate

Hello,

I'm looking to collaborate with an expert in AI tools to create a polished short film based on my script before production. It's crucial that the final product meets specific standards, so if you haven't worked on something like this before, I kindly ask that you refrain from applying, as I will require multiple revisions.

The ideal candidate will possess the following skills:

- Proficiency with AI software
- Experience in creating human-like AI-generated films
- A keen eye for crafting visually stunning pieces with excellent camera work
- Expertise in editing to ensure a seamless final product

My script is a fast-paced, emotionally rich, and sensual short film spanning 7 pages, and it must be executed to the highest quality.

Thank you for your consideration!

I'm the founder of Vetiver, a fragrance discovery app launching soon. We have a mascot character named Vito, a cute teal perfume-bottle character with a gold cap and a little tuxedo, and I'm looking to bring him to life with Lottie animations for use across our app and website.I'll provide the character art and reference. To start, I'd need a full set of animation states:

Idle (gentle bob/breathe)
Walk cycle
Run cycle (he runs around the screen)
Wave
Blowing a kiss
A "spray" gag (he sprays from his cap)
Celebration (for milestones / user wins)
[open to your suggestions for other expressive states that'd bring him to life]

The animations need to be clean, lightweight, performant, and exported as Lottie JSON, with the editable source files included. Looping where appropriate. Important: these need to integrate cleanly into our actual app build (we're working in Replit / Fable), not just live as standalone files. So they should be delivered ready to drop in — properly named, optimized file sizes, and structured so a developer can trigger each state in-app. If you've integrated Lottie into live apps before, that's a big plus. A few quick questions before you apply:

Is this the kind of character work you've done before? (Feel free to share relevant samples.)
Have you handled Lottie integration into a real app/web build, or do you hand off to the dev for that?
What's your rate — per animation or for the full set?
Rough turnaround for the first batch?
If it goes well, there's ongoing work as we expand Vito across the product.

I am a student working on a medical software project and need a vector illustrator to create a clean layered coronary artery SVG.

The two reference images are attached to this job post:

* `new_shema.png`: the exact visual shape to redraw
* `new_lebelleed.jpg`: the labeled reference showing the name, start and end of each artery segment

The medical segment locations are already provided, so no medical interpretation is required.

Deliverables:

* Clean manual vector redraw, not an automatic bitmap trace
* Each labeled artery segment created as a separate closed SVG shape
* Each segment given a unique ID matching its label in the reference image, such as `D1`, `S1` or `OM1`
* All segments connected seamlessly so the result still looks like one continuous coronary tree
* A separate centerline path for each segment
* Organized layers for the outline, segment shapes and centerlines
* Transparent background
* Canvas size: 900 × 675 px
* Editable SVG and original source file

The final SVG must be clean and compatible with React, CSS and JavaScript.

Experience with Illustrator, Inkscape, Affinity Designer or clean SVG creation is preferred.

Please include your fixed-price quote and estimated delivery time. I am a student, so my budget is limited.

I'm seeking a talented illustrator to create engaging, cartoonish illustrations for a children's book aimed at 0-3 year-olds. The illustrations should primarily feature human characters.

Requirements:
- Experience in children's book illustration, specifically for toddlers

- Ability to develop relatable human characters

Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Background in early childhood education or child psychology is a plus
- Prior work in illustration for the 0-3 age group
- Strong portfolio showcasing similar work
-actual illustrations, not using AI generated images

Please provide a portfolio with relevant experience.

Skills: Graphic Design, Illustrator, Illustration, Caricature & Cartoons, 2D Animation, Art Consulting, Art Installation, Character Design

I need someone to create a YouTube video featuring an animated stick figure story with sound and voice over. The ideal candidate will have experience in animation and video production, ensuring the final product is engaging and of high quality. Creativity and attention to detail are essential for this project.

We are building a mascot-driven mobile app and need an experienced Lottie / After Effects / Bodymovin animator to fix our current bee animation system ASAP.

Our homepage bee is currently animated using a frame-based setup, likely a PNG sequence displayed one frame at a time. This does not work for our wearable/customization system because we need accessories to stay correctly positioned on the bee while the bee remains animated.

We cannot make the bee static. The bee must stay animated, and the final animation system needs to support layered wearable items.

What we need:

We need someone who can take our existing bee animation assets and either:

Convert the current frame-based bee animation into clean Lottie JSON, or
Recreate the bee animation in After Effects and export it properly through Bodymovin/Lottie.

The goal is to preserve the current bee style, movement, timing, and personality as closely as possible while making the animation usable for our developer to build the wearable system.

Wearable system requirements:

The animation must allow our developer to accurately place accessories on the bee, including:

Watch on the left hand
Bracelet on the right hand
Future accessories such as hats, glasses, and other wearable items
Proper alignment across the animation so items do not look detached or randomly floating

The animation should be structured cleanly enough for mobile implementation and layering.

Current problem:

Our developer confirmed that the current homepage bee animation is a set of PNG images shown one by one to look animated. This makes wearable placement very difficult. We need a proper Lottie JSON animation that can be integrated into the app and used with the wearable/customization system.

Deliverables:

Clean Lottie JSON file/files for the bee animation
Any required supporting assets
Properly named/exported files
A version that preserves the current bee movement and style
Confirmation that the Lottie works for mobile app implementation
Quick communication with our developer if needed

Timeline:

This is urgent. We need this completed today / within less than 24 hours.

Please only apply if you can start immediately and work quickly. We are not looking for a long multi-day animation project. We need someone who understands Lottie and can solve this fast.

Requirements:

Strong experience with Lottie JSON
Strong experience with Adobe After Effects
Experience exporting with Bodymovin
Experience with character/mascot animation
Experience converting PNG/GIF/frame-based animations into Lottie
Ability to preserve an existing animation style
Ability to communicate clearly and move fast

When applying, please include:

Examples of Lottie animations you have created or converted
Whether you can start immediately
Whether you can complete this within less than 24 hours
Your approach for converting a PNG/frame-based mascot animation into Lottie for a wearable system

I’m an artist interested in creating Instagram Reels with simple, subtle animations of my illustrations.

I have many artworks and would love to make a story out of them. My goal is to bring a bit of life to my art while keeping the style delicate and true to the original illustrations and make a story out of my illustrations.

The animation part would be:
a hand slightly moving,
stars shimmering,
flowers slowly growing,
a lotus opening.

I’d love to discuss details and see if we’re a good fit.

I'm looking for a long-term video editor who can turn a provided script + voiceover into clean, engaging, motion-driven explainer videos related to the following topic: the history of dating, romance, courtship, and scandal across different eras.

The style is image- and motion-led - period images, archival art, and relevant footage, brought to life with smooth animation, movement, and light hand-drawn touches. Think clean and visual, with energy and pacing. I'd love to see your portfolio, what you've done, and what style you'd suggest.

A video editor should be able to do the following:

Speak fluent English
Communicate effectively
Turnaround time of 3 days or less
Be creative and bring light humour/personality to the visuals
MUST be able to edit a MINIMUM of 2 videos a week. Could be 1 if it's really high-quality work, but I'd expect 2.
If you have read the middle of this job description, please type your favourite animal at the beginning or end of your proposal.

As you can tell, I'm looking for a long-term editor and do have high expectations - but keep in mind, this will be consistent ongoing work if you can deliver, and it will be compensated well. We're building a team and need reliable editors to join us. This can grow into a full-time role, and more work will come if we're a good match working together.

Again, we provide the script and voiceover. We simply need the visuals built around it - put together nicely and creatively in a motion-driven explainer style with strong movement and light animated touches (title screens, transitions, simple draw-on and reveal effects).

Here's the kind of style we're drawn to, for reference:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQd2k1pEXp4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AFO6MHy8y4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Aw_GVpwwZQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C41uC9wzVTY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2Eki-SbEgY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ts-rVAT33kA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbDzPmFLUCg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5Y5KBToIao

These aren't set in stone - just examples. Honestly, I feel they don't have enough movement, so I'd love to know your style, see your portfolio, and hear what you'd bring to make it more dynamic.

TAKE NOTE of the following guidelines:

THE OPENING , start with an engaging hook visual that's EXTREMELY relevant to the title (a strong period image or animated reveal that sets up the question)
Show subheadings, era markers, and key numbers with appeal and emphasis
Editor will source/create 3 types of visuals: period-appropriate images (paintings, engravings, archival art), relevant clips/footage, and simple animated elements

I have a series of talking-head lessons recorded and ready to go, but they feel a little flat on their own. I want each video to come alive with 2D animations that smoothly carry the viewer from my on-camera intro into b-roll made of screenshots and screencasts of platforms such as OpenArt AI, Creative Fabrica, and any other sites I reference.

Here’s what I need you to weave in:
• Text overlays that reinforce key teaching points
• Graphic overlays that add visual interest to statistics, feature call-outs, or tooltips
• Logo overlays whenever a brand like OpenArt AI appears, so viewers instantly recognize it

The flow I’m picturing is: I speak on camera for the first 20–30 seconds, then the screen transitions—using tasteful 2D motion graphics—into the relevant screenshots or screencasts. Throughout, the overlays should pop up at just the right moment without feeling cluttered.


Deliverable: one fully polished video no more than 1 minute (60 seconds).

We are seeking a skilled animator to create a 10-second motion graphic animation for a video. The animation should be engaging and align with our brand's style. The ideal candidate will have experience in creating dynamic and visually appealing animations. Please provide samples of your previous work.

I’ve drafted an original fantasy storyline aimed squarely at a teenage audience and now need it brought to life as a 2-D animated video. The budget is lean, so I’m counting on smart, resource-savvy techniques—limited but expressive character rigs, economical scene reuse, and agile software such as Toon Boom, Adobe Animate, Krita or any other tool you trust that keeps costs down without sacrificing charm.

Tone and pacing should feel modern and energetic, with the kind of humor and wonder that keeps 13- to 18-year-olds glued to the screen. Think vibrant colours, memorable character silhouettes and a dash of epic atmosphere rather than photoreal polish.

To keep expectations clear, I’ll need:
• A concise storyboard or animatic approved up front
• Final animation in HD (1080p) MP4, ready for YouTube or TikTok trims
• Basic sound design and a royalty-free music bed (if you can supply it; otherwise flag early so I can secure audio)
• Working files (project files, layered artwork) on delivery so I can archive and tweak later if required

If you’re comfortable squeezing big imagination out of small budgets and can show previous teen-friendly 2-D work, let’s talk timing and milestones and get this fantasy on screen.

Looking for a long-term video editor for a fast-growing faceless YouTube channel focused on Pokémon finance and entertainment. The channel tone is dry, cynical, and highly analytical.

The visual style relies on a specific hybrid layout. You will combine minimalist 2D stickman/cartoon animations with high-resolution real-world assets, card photos, market charts, and live footage.

What You Will Do
Animate 2D Scenes. Create simple, expressive stickman or unpolished cartoon animations to match the voiceover narrative. Think Casually Explained or Sam O'Nella Academy style.

Source Real Assets. Integrate high-quality images and footage of actual Pokémon cards, booster packs, and grading slabs (PSA/BGS).

Execute High-Retention Editing. Maintain a fast, punchy pace. Use sudden visual cuts, scale adjustments, and sound design to keep viewers locked in.

Required Expertise
1. Technical Skills
Expert proficiency in After Effects, Premiere Pro, or your preferred editing suite.

Ability to create clean, expressive 2D asset movements without reliance on bloated templates.

Strong audio syncing and comedic timing.

Audio Design and Music Selection. Ability to select the right background music. You know how to source lo-fi, understated, or cynical tracks that complement a dry monotone voiceover, avoiding loud or hyperactive gaming tracks.

2. Pokémon TCG Knowledge (Non-Negotiable)
You must be deeply passionate about the Pokémon franchise and its history.

You must know the exact eras and card sets from 1999 to today.

You must understand TCG mechanics instantly. If the script mentions an Unlimited print run, a shadowless border, a junk slab, or a modern alternative art, you must know exactly what visual asset to use without making factual errors.

How to Apply
To filter out automated spam, your application must include answers to these 3 specific points:

Link 2 or 3 examples of your work that demonstrate either 2D stickman animation or fast-paced asset overlays.

What video editing software do you use, and what is your turnaround time for an 11-minute script?

The Filter Question: What is the main visual difference between an English 1st Edition Base Set holographic card and an Unlimited Base Set holographic card? (Keep it to 1 sentence).

I am looking for a YouTube editor, someone who can edit videos like the YouTube channel Moon. No Ai clips or random clips put together as a video. I need someone who can edit any video or image and add value to anything like the channel Moon. Basically my channel is centered around tech news and current events. so basically I need someone who can manually edit things, bring up articles, highlight crucial information etc.... I need someone who can also do a little bit of 3d or 2d animation to either show the details or point at it. but it won't be much animation in the videos. My videos don't have a lot of clips online, so manually editing is the only way to go.
